SF / CWS Trade

[Giants GM (Kev)]

SF gives:

Charlie Blackmon OF COL (50% salary retained) 2021: $21 mil 2022: $21 mil 2023: $13 mil

CWS gives:

Jared Kelley SP CWS milb
Yoelkis Cespedes OF CWS milb
Lorenzo Cain OF MIL 2021: $9.5 mil 2022: $9.5 mil
3rd rounder CWS

More Giants rebuilding. Retaining a big contract in Blackmon and taking on salary from Cain. Getting two exciting prospects as well as a late draft pick. Jason to confirm.

[White Sox GM (Jason)]

Solidified my starting lineup by adding a premium, multi-category bat and did so at a valuable price (50 percent salary). It's possible I could have gotten more value out of a Kelley/Cespedes, but I wanted to strike while the iron was hot.

Thanks for the talks, Kevin.
